Are you reading the rules on the auction website or the FAQ on this forum, two different websites. The opening bid is probably what the seller put in when posting the item. When I got my VP180 center, Axiom had it for Buy Now at a higher price, or the opening bid price, which is what I put in, and one the auction. Since you put in a higher bid, that is the lowest bid now. I don't think your correct, your bid is now the one to beat.
